I’m in my 50s, so I was definately around when vinyl was pretty much the only game in town. When talking about the size of a resurgence, I’m not comparing current levels to what they were at they were at their height, but what they were at their lowest. Compared to technologies that have actually completely died out, like Betamax, I would call the ever-growing resurgence of vinyl “huge”. I would also say that resurgence is growing beyond “indie-dance chic”. Indeed, vinyl sales have jumped 250 percent since 2002, Statista says, while overall music sales have dropped by 50 percent. Not bad for a format that was nearly dead.
